10?! Really... OK... I'll expand the options out! (Tomorrow - now it is time for bed!).variante wrote:Now we're talking! Awesome, machin!
However it seems like downforce values of these cars are going to be well above full scale. So it would be perfect if you could increase the maximum Cl.A to at least 10. Otherwise, if you tell us that the performance/downforce ratio is pretty much linear, we can simply scale down our values...
Other people may confirm/deny...? I'm using custom CFD settings, BTW.machin wrote:10?!
Seems enough for me.machin wrote:How about Cd.A...?
I agree, Cl.A of 10 should be easily achievable for the high downforce rounds. I think a small increase in the Cd.A range would also be good.variante wrote:Other people may confirm/deny...? I'm using custom CFD settings, BTW.machin wrote:10?!
I can't wait to see these cars then! The Jag XJR in high downforce trim supposedly had about 5000lbs of downforce at 200mph which is a Cl.A of around 4.5... (in Le Mans trim they were down to a Cl.A of about 2.5)...cdsavage wrote:I agree, Cl.A of 10 should be easily achievable for the high downforce rounds.
A more relevant comparison for high-downforce designs might be some of the IMSA-specific cars like the Allard J2X, which could supposedly develop 10,000lbs at 200mph.machin wrote:I can't wait to see these cars then!

Interesting! The Allard is what I expect too see in the KVRCcdsavage wrote:A more relevant comparison for high-downforce designs might be some of the IMSA-specific cars like the Allard J2X, which could supposedly develop 10,000lbs at 200mph.machin wrote:I can't wait to see these cars then!

Thank you Machin. Only one thing: COP is a costant value (1650mm). My car as a COP aound 1800mm, how can I take it into account simulating the best lap?machin wrote:Cl.A and Cd.A coefficient ranges increased as requested...

Happy Testing!
The penalty process will be pretty similar to last year. If the first submission is legal then the CFD simulation will go ahead. If there are only very minor issues which would not likely affect performance, then a warning may be given, meaning that these issues must be fixed for the next round, but the original submission is used for this round.CAEdevice wrote:Thank you Machin.

A question about the first race: how will be considered not legal details? Time penalty? Exclusion?
Awesome. I like the "kill markings" on the rear deck: -I might be inclined to add "1st" in front of each one! Can't wait to see the full car!variante wrote:Some teasers...

It will be fully revealed in a couple of weeks, just before the first race.
